REAPER uses the VST3 versions of the Sessionwire plugins, or AU on a Mac.
Send your mix
- Click the FX button on the Master track and add the Sessionwire Send plugin at the end of the chain. For a separate cue mix, create a track for it, send each track to it, and put the Send plugin there instead.
- In your Studio, set HQ Audio Source to the Sessionwire Send Plugin.
- Press play and check your HQ Audio meter moves in the Mixer.
Record a Guest
The best recordings come from the performer's side. If you need to record here, read Record someone with the Receive plugin first, as the recording arrives late by the round trip.
- Turn on the Guest's HQ Audio in your Mixer.
- Create a track and add the Sessionwire Receive plugin to its FX.
- Click the track's Route button. Untick Master send, and add a hardware output to your monitors, usually outputs 1 and 2. The Receive track now plays to your speakers without going through the Master, so it can't reach the Send plugin.
- In your Studio, set HQ Audio Destination to the Sessionwire Receive Plugin.
- To record, right-click the Receive track's record-arm button, choose Record: output, then a stereo option, and record-arm the track.
Talkback through REAPER
Only needed if your talkback mic isn't on input 1 or 2, or you want to process it. See Route Talkback through your DAW.
If the plugins can't find their device, see Sessionwire drivers or plugins not showing up. On Windows, also check Set up Sessionwire on Windows.
